49ers signed Alabama WR DeAndrew White.

White (6'0/193) was a lightly used complementary receiver in the Crimson Tide's offense, managing 94 career catches, 1,294 yards (13.8 YPR), and 12 TDs in four seasons. He ran 4.44 at the Combine, but struggled in the vertical (34 1/2") and broad (9'10") jumps. Small, often injured, and not proficient at creating separation, White's ceiling is a pedestrian No. 3 or 4 receiver. White's lack of special teams experience will hurt his NFL chances.

In addition to his impressive forty time -- scouts thought he'd run in the 4.5s -- White "caught the ball very well," according to Pauline. The analyst grades White as a priority free agent. On Wednesday, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban told the media he thinks White is "underappreciated" and possesses a high ceiling. White entered the season as a UDFA prospect, but he may have worked his way into Day 3. Fri, Mar 13, 2015 08:31:00 PM

White clocked a low 4.4s forty at Wednesday's pro day after running for a 4.44 at last month's combine. "He has a lot more ability than maybe what his production maybe has been here," Saban said. "Whether it's because of injuries or whatever that he's battled through. He's got great speed. He's got great size. He's been a great special teams player for us, and if you're not a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver on a team, you're going to have to play special teams." White entered the season as a UDFA prospect, but he now looks like a Day 3 probability. "I think he's going to be a real value for somebody," Saban said. "They're going to get a guy who has great ability that probably could really develop into something special." Thu, Mar 12, 2015 05:37:00 PM

"He also showed improvement attacking the ball in the air and using his length to expand his catching radius. With his positive play this season, White has gone from an undrafted free agent to possible late round draft pick," Brugler wrote. The Crimson Tide wideout recorded 4 catches for 101 yards and a score in Alabama's 42-13 win over Missouri. Brugler thinks the 6-foot, 192-pound White "has room to improve his route-running, but he is an underrated athlete with enough speed to stress the secondary on vertical routes and acceleration as a ballcarrier to create with his legs."
